(A/N: No, I won't put the disclaimer for every chapter. That's not needed, and I could use this to give shout-out. Like to all my peeps in the Good-RWBYAU Discord.)


Now, cue the opening song…which you'll have to look up on YouTube because there's no real lyrics.

Chapter 4: We Can Finally Get Started


[One Month and a Few Weeks After the Events of the Last Chapter and the Finale of A Drunken Knockout Marriage – Mid to Late Feburary]

[Unknown location, somewhere over the skies of the Pacific Ocean]

The day had come at least and Kaze felt he was cloud nine. Of course, he was flying through the skies excited to deliver the news back home. Humming a little tune, he increased his pace only to suddenly fly into a wall only to see nothing there.

"What the h…cloaking…" Kaze muttered to himself as the wall began to glitch and make itself visible. "Oh crap."

Kaze was by all means a hero, but he was underequipped, and he slowly realized he was outnumbered by how much many he sensed on that ship. Not even waiting for the ship to become fully visible, Kaze flew away using Super Saiyan to boost his speed. He didn't need to pass the Pacific Ocean to get home, there was the other way around! Yeah!

The ship's hatch had opened as a robe-clad Keitaro sauntered out looking around having missed Kaze.

"Hmm, I guess something must have hit the ship to mess with it's cloaking. Aw well, can't be helped. I told the boss cloaking the Vladilena was a bad idea. And now there's a smudge." Keitaro said walking back inside as the hatched closed back.

Keitaro walked into the living area where most of the Amoral Aces were just waking up.

"Hey, Jōshō. Something hit the ship not too long ago and damaged the cloaking technology right where the logo is on the ship." Keitaro said with a yawn. "Told you we should have just parked on Kurit Islands."

"Any damage?" Jōshō asked getting himself a glass of tea.

"Just some slobber of whoever smacked into our ship. Whoever did it definitely fled…" Keitaro said sensing a fleeing ki. "And is flying fast. Should we go after him?"

"If he is fleeing away, then he's smart enough to keep his mouth shut. Forget him." Jōshō said taking a sip.

"Um, Sir." Hali Emoji said meekly getting Joshinari's attention. "Your…cousin is in the news."

She handed him a newspaper to which he opened up. The headline had gotten him to roll his eyes.

"Why am I not surprised? His tie to that rancid show was going to be his undoing." Joshinari remarked.

"Hypocritical, much?" Leandra (8XL) said as she plopped down on her chair.

"I took the characters that were least likely to piss people off. Except the Zoomans." Joshinari said looking down at the paper.

"By the way, what did you do with that?" Serena Juniper (Skinny Jasper) said curiously.

"You ever heard of the Sims? Basically, I built a Sims world and dumped those Zoomans in it. They're living new lives blissfully gaining independence. It's also you haven't seen Gemini (8XG) or Justina (8XJ) lately. They went to join the Zoomans in living there wanting to look after them." Joshinari explained.

"Well…that explains some things. But what's going down with the CGs?" Serena J said pointing to the paper.

"Oh, that well…apparently, Sadie and Pink Diamond had doing some shady shit using her connections to Ryker to protect them. But not from me, and I got the parents involved, and Ryker was pissed that his parents up and confronted him on it." Joshinari said with a chuckle. "Seems Pink and Sadie didn't realize who they were messing with when Gemini told them the world that I created was a protected planet. All that drama nearly exposed we were hiding here."

The Blackthorn clan still had some semblance of a moral code, and Ryker was not pleased that his cohorts had the nerve to do this under his nose. Especially considering this made Ryker look bad in the public eye as Joshinari was rehabilitating the Zoomans.

"It seems that Pink proved she was looking out for herself and ratted out Sadie's misdeeds. Seems Sadie is going to be spending a dime in prison for her crimes. Her lust for Lars led her down a path of destruction, and nearly dragged Ryker and his team with them." Joshinari said having no sympathy for her. "At least, my cousin was smart enough to give her the boot…a bit late though."

"Actually, darling, she's not serving that sentence. That paper's old…by about a few weeks. She's dead, love. Shanked in a prison riot. That's expected…considering they put her in the Null Void's Z-Sector Max Prison. Plenty of Frost who'd have a grudge against anyone related to the Blackthorns." Delia said reading a recent article off her phone.

"I wouldn't believe that…I wouldn't be surprised if they marked her dead to ensure no one goes after her. Whatever…good riddance." Joshinari said jovially. "So, who's up for Chinese food for breakfast?"

[Original County, Outer Towns]

K.O. found himself horribly bored in school today and he was wishing the lessons did not drag on. Yes, Dende had helped him to better his study habits, but this backfired. Now he did much better in his classes to where there was less challenge, and Miss Quantum was on his behind to go better. How Dendy put up with it, K.O. will never know.

"I would give anything to get out of this!" K.O. thought as Miss Quantum was prattling on.

WHAM! The door was kicked open to reveal a swarm of…Candy Pirates armed with cutlasses aimed at the teacher

"Well darn, seems they've found me. Well, class, I'll have to cut this class early and ask you to go to study hall." Miss Quantum said cracking her knuckles. "I have some unfinished business."

"So, you think you could cheat us in dice?" Captain Caramelanie said raising her blade at her throat.

"No, but maybe we can talk about this. Let me give you a seat." Ms. Quantum said taking a chair.

The captain lowered her sword and it seemed this was going to end peacefully.

Which proved to be a case when the teacher smashed the chair over the captain's head before using it at a battering ram to escape leaving the pirates to scramble after her leaving the students confused to what just happened.

"Hey K.O., I…where's your teacher?" Kaze asked confused.

"Chased out by Candy Pirates." Dendy said flatly.

"Only in Zen Kuro." Kaze muttered to himself before tossing K.O. with his lunch before hurrying out.

Kaze had arrived at the bodega where Carol was waiting for him along with Enid, Rad, and Mr. Gar.

"Ok, Kaze? What's this all about?" Carol asked with her hands on her hips.

"Well, I wanted to see if I don't get K.O. and Dendy a shot at applying for one of those hero academies, but that didn't work out. But, I was able to get Enid and Rad a shot at a fast track program at UA High." Kaze said flooring the two young adults.

"The UA?! How?! It's hard enough for people to get near the school since My Hero Academia merged with the planet." Enid said grabbing Kaze by his jacket.

Kaze explained he had a talk with the principal there and he liked the cut of his jib. In reality, Nezu accepted him out of pragmatism. When the world had merged and everyone was aware, they were fictional, their world had changed. For one, everyone could now get superhuman abilities thanks to the introduction of Ki, Chakra, and Magic. Two, the reveal lead to the change in treatment for people. All Might's secret was public knowledge, but the populace wanted to lend support. They pooled what warper energy they could donate to artificially keep his All for One flame going, a team of new medics were working to patch him up, and donations were flying at him. Nezu saw Kaze as an asset. A regular run of the mill 4th/5th/6th warper could only donate so much, but a 10th level's flames were endless. Plus, UA staff were quicker to learn of warper law and the clan politics. They hoped Kaze had ties to the Blackthorn family. So, they were more than happy to give him, his wife, and his friends' hero licenses. Kaze was blissfully unaware of this, however.

"I even got licenses for all of Fusion Force. I'll need to call them though." Kaze said excitedly handing out the licenses for them. "I even picked out my hero name, Sliver Shadow."

Carol rolled her eyes as everyone got their licenses.

"Provisional? How much you got a full license? You've had powers much less longer than any of us." Rad said glaring at Kaze.

Kaze shrugged not realized he got it out of sideline nepotism and pragmatism.

"So, Kunoichi Luna? A bit of a basic hero name, but it'll do." Enid said looking down at her license.

"The Radical Razor. Now that's a name." Rad said in approval. "Totally going to show this to Shannon."

He left despite the fact that was still his shift leaving Mr. Gar to sigh.

"That name is late 90s." Mr. Gar thought sheepishly before saying, "So basically, we can operate as heroes in Japan and get paid by its government."

"Wait, considering Fusion Force, I don't know if they'll take it well." Carol remarked.

When he told them, they had mixed feelings towards it. Saki was rightly livid that Fusion Force was technically tied to a government to which could potential put them in hot water with the President and the US Government. Crusher was able to get to talk to Nezu to keep the force independent to ensure that wouldn't happen.

"I'm sorry about all this." Kaze said awkwardly.

"It's not all your fault but do be careful. At the very least, you got some powerful people in our pocket, and that's good." Saki remarked. "Speaking of which, I'm going to need you, Carol, Enid, and Rad to meet with the team at the town of Nowhere tomorrow."

"Why? What's going on?" Kaze asked.

"You'll find out when you all get that. I can't spill the details over the phone. Later." Saki said before hanging up.

Kaze put away his phone wondering what was coming tomorrow.

Somewhere in space outside the Neo Kero Universe, the ship Blackfrost, home to the Crystal Squadron, were still sailing the stars. But the mood was quiet and remorseful after the scandal that tore through the team. Barbara had chosen to leave the team to join a monastery who find herself and where she went wrong on raising Sadie. Sadie's reported death on the news wasn't even something of catharsis for most of them.

[Cues: Fist of the North Star OST [HQ] - Zetsubou no Buchi]

Ryker sat alone on the observation desk on his recliner lost in thought wistfully staring into space as soft music played. Blue Diamond walked up slowly with a pitcher which she was struggling not to spill it as she was shaking. While it had been a month since being Pearl, they were given light tasks and were not physical harmed. However, Blue feared Ryker since the trial having got a raw feeling of the energy he gave off when angered. It was sensory overload for her. It didn't help that she and Yellow were powerless.

"Master, I brought you refreshments." Blue said nervously. "Shall I refill your glass with the fruit cocktail?"

"Just call it fruit juice…and yes." Ryker said as she poured his glass before leaving.

As Blue scurried off, Amethyst came up and turned off the music.

[Music Ends]

Ryker got up and turned to see Amethyst with her arms crossed. Ryker took a sip of his drink before she could speak.

"Ryker, you've been doing this since the verdict of the trial. You can't just blame yourself for letting it fester." Amethyst said supportively.

"I should have known…" Ryker muttered.

"Lars wanted to remind that you didn't and couldn't have known." Amethyst said. " He actually blames himself for letting me go on for longer than it did had."

"But Barb…" Ryker said only for Amethyst to cut in and say, "Only said that because she doesn't want to accept the fact that she raised a predator. So please stop beating yourself up over this. Don't tell me you blame yourself for Pink, too."

"What? No, of course not. I may have brought her back into the fold, but she's had awareness of being a shitty person being longer than Sadie has. Secondly, I'm debating even keeping her on board. The woman took advantage of the fact the writers had inadvertently made Sadie be a predator. She shifted the blame when she was damn well guilty of trying to get into what was clearly a restricted zone." Ryker said a bit heated.

"There's the Ryker we know." Amethyst said drinking the rest of his juice.

"Really, you had to drink what was mine?" Ryker said annoyed.

"Uhh…oh right, Lars wanted to ask if you were ready to arrive to CN-Zen Kuro." Amethyst changing the subject.

"Oh, right? We've been bumming space for a long while. I forgot Priyanka's been wanting Connie and Steven to finish school." Ryker said. "Then give the order to Lars, we're going."

Amethyst nodded and ran off as Ryker strode into the living room to find Yellow Diamond being whiny about being Bismuth's footstool. Ryker wasn't in the mood for it and neither was Bismuth. In entered Jasper, who was done with training.

"Hey, Jasper. Kindly shut Yellow up, I have no mood to put up with her." Ryker asked.

"I could..." Bismuth said only for Jasper to shush her.

"Don't. I've got this." Jasper said sliding off her shorts.

"Uh…Jas, what are you…Oh my…." Ryker said blushing a tad before laughing at what Jasper did to Yellow.

Yellow was gagged by Jasper shoving her underwear down her throat before using the band she used to keep a ponytail to secure it in her mouth. Yellow Diamond's nose was assailed with a putrid scent of dirt and sweat as Jasper had finished a long spar with Priyanka earlier. Jasper pulled up her shorts looking rather smug as Yellow Diamond could only glare up at the Cheeto gem.

"I can't believe you just did that." Bismuth said chuckling.

"She better not spit out the gag until I pull it out or else." Jasper said darkly before turning to Ryker. "By the way, you have a minute. I could use a hand styling this mane."

"Of course, you want me to draw some new styles?" Ryker offered.

Jasper could only smirk.

Over in the Sun Incinerator which was bridged to the Blackfrost, the Rutile Twins were supposed to be monitoring the radars, but they were preoccupied…playing Fortnite.

"Son of a…sniped again!" Lucy (The Left Rutile) said livid at the ease of the attack.

"We really need to redesign this map." Risa (The Right Rutile) said with a sigh.

As they played, they missed the blip on the radar that a Saiyan pod flew right past them. Surprisingly, the occupant had been playing the same game…and was the one who sniped the twins.


(A/N: Next chapter is partly going to be a dive into the life of the younger cast, the next gen if will. Also, we're going to move along the plot through the coming characters to the planet. This is going to be good. I hope you all liked the tiny bit of Diamond karma. As for Sadie's sudden removal, this is due to something I've discovered about Sadie that put her in bad graces for me, and finally killed any lingering thoughts of Larsadie being a thing. If you really want an explanation, I reposted my short essay about it in "Multiverse of the Stars".)

(A/N: It's late, but it's here.)
